Rowan’s mind was currently elsewhere.He was wondering who was supporting Amir.No one would believe that Amir got to this position based on his ability alone.He must have someone supporting him behind the scenes because, with his qualifications, it would be impossible for him to stand out among the many people who wanted the general manager position at Gruel Processing Plant.It came down to two possible candidates.Kimbra or Sahar.It must be one of them.If Rowan could figure out who that person was, he would be able to predict the direction of the negotiation, which would put them at an advantage.However, he could not figure out who it was for the life of him.While Rowan was still deep in thought, Amir had already sat down in his exquisitely crafted leather chair.After lighting the cut cigar, the henchman handed it to Amir.Amir took the cigar and squinted while he inhaled with enjoyment. Then, he turned to glance at Rowan before saying calmly, “So, you’re the person
For some reason, Rowan suddenly recalled Jasper’s hesitant words before leaving.Celine almost fought with Jasper about this back then.“But, Rowan, you have to remember that everything you do now has a major prerequisite, and that is a normal and orderly trading market.“And Qari is not one of them.”Although Rowan was sincere at the time, he felt like Jasper was making a fuss out of a molehill, just like Celine.However, he now understood why Jasper had told him this.Qari was indeed different from Somerland in terms of market conditions.This was something so crucial, and yet it was like child’s play to Amir.His secretary had full authority while he was playing around as if this was nothing.It was as if he was selling his inheritance without a second thought about how hard his forebears worked for it.No.Even if Amir was just a collateral relative, he was still a Kurt.He was responsible for these transactions, and the results would also affect his future in his famil
Rowan laughed in anger.“So, you tricked us here and then expected us to buy your non-existent bonds with an astronomical amount of money gratefully, huh?“Should I thank you then?”It was as if Khan did not understand Rowan’s sarcasm. He just said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me. After all, this is just a fair and mutually beneficial deal. Just remember not to owe us any balance. It’ll be better if you pay us in full.“After all, we’ve dealt with a few Somerlanders before, and we still doubt their credibility.”Slam!With a fist down on the table, Rowan finally stopped suppressing the anger in his heart.“F*ck you! You tricked us here to buy your useless bonds, and you dare to call this a fair and mutually beneficial deal?“This is a scam!“You’re scamming us, and now you’re doubting a Somerlander’s credibility.“I see. You never wanted to deal with us, let alone treat us with sincerity.”A look of anger also appeared on Khan’s face.“You Somerlanders are so rude! You
Rowan’s face changed. Then he heard the sound of bullets chambered.A voice screamed in Rowan’s head, ‘Oh no, they’re resorting to violence now!‘They’re trying to deal using coercion!’As soon as he had this thought, Rowan felt a huge force pulling him outward.Julian, who had long sensed something was wrong, kicked open the door and pulled Rowan out.Brock kicked down the attendant who was about to take action and ran out with the two of them.He could hear Amir’s angry shouts behind him."Stop them! Damn it, stop them!"Julian and Brock were not the only ones who came with Rowan. They also brought many guards recruited from the previous oil fields. So, most of them were mercenaries and had strong combat capabilities.Because of their relationship with the Elvis family and with the help of the Elvis family’s military, they had gun licenses and could keep their guns and weapons.Soon after, their guards started fighting with the Gruel guards.Just like what Julian and Brock
When they arrived at Gruel, Julian, and Brock sensed something was not right. So, they immediately notified Jasper that they needed more reinforcements.In addition to their bodyguards who were dispatched urgently, some of these responders were members of the Elvis family.After Warwick heard Jasper’s plan, he became particularly concerned about Jasper’s subsequent plans.To protect the safety of Jasper and others, he had been secretly deploying his family’s bodyguards to protect them nearby. He even went to his uncle in the military and asked him to send some soldiers to assist him when necessary.Naturally, Julian and Brock had their contact.When Brock saw the reinforcements, he relaxed. He patted Julian on the shoulder and laughed loudly, “You’re so smart! You sensed that something was not right soon after we entered. I would have been waiting there stupidly if you hadn’t given me a nudge.”“Brock, please stop flattering me. I knew you could sense something was up without me
At that moment, the leader said, “Mr. Rowan, we encountered several Kurt family members behaving sneakily when we came to pick you up. So, we arrested them.“Also…”When the team leader said this, his expression was a little strange.“They want to see you.”Rowan was stunned.Originally, he thought these people were colluding with Amir.According to the information he had obtained before and Amir’s performance just now, he assumed that Murire’s Asa and Gruel’s Amir were on the same page.However, upon hearing what the leader said, it seemed there was something more behind this.“What else did they say?”The convoy's leader said honestly, “After they heard we were with you, they said that Amir had set a trap for you, so you shouldn’t go there. They are the ones who really want to trade.“They seem…” The convoy leader paused as if he was considering his words. “They seem to be afraid of any setbacks in the deal with you.”When Rowan heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.H
Amir also became anxious after that.“But they’ve left. Where can I find them? They’re foreigners, so the addresses they left with are usually empty. Their offices are all abroad, so how do I find them?”“Y-You… You’re such a disappointment!”Kimbra was so angry that he was stuttering and wanted to vomit blood.Since the Elvis family began to force him to abdicate, he had to turn his attention back to the processing factory he had ignored.Preparing the processing plant was actually the idea of the previous patriarch, Baltimore.When Baltimore proposed that, many in the family raised objections. To them, the focus was, of course, oil.As long as there was oil, they could drown themselves in sex and pleasure. Even if they had extra money, they should use it to invest in some high-return projects abroad to make money.They could leave projects such as the processing link to big families like the Elvis family, who had sufficient production capacity, sufficient technology, and exte
If it had not been for that, Kimbra would have never imagined that the day would come when he would face financial shortages after attaining his long-awaited position as patriarch.The Kurt family owned nearly half of Qari’s oil fields, and Qari’s oil field reserves ranked fifth in the world.This was a lot of money, no matter from which perspective.However, as Kimbra became the patriarch, he suddenly discovered that they did not have much liquidity due to excessive investments in the past, coupled with the prospect of the United States’ upcoming military garrison.A considerable part of this working capital was used for the family's daily operations, such as oil exploration and collection.After all, oil was the foundation of the Kurt family, and once these oil wells were started, they could not be stopped. Otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.So, even with the Elvis family now intensively suppressing them, the Kurt family was in danger of losing the oil field they
